Part of the “Pro Tog, Cheap Camera Challenge” series. Pro photographers from around the world take on the challenge to use one cheap camera to do a pro photo shoot. But just what will happen?

    Any one of us who has a halfway decent camera; We have no excuse anymore.

  9. Autotrope says

    David had a tougher job than most due to the additional requirements about what he was to photograph and how, and the issues with the flash sync. That said, I'm sure DR tested it beforehand and was confident it was at last solvable, these videos are not nearly as disorganised as they are trying to look 😉

  10. Lil Veggie says

    What that guy did with the snake was f*cked up. At least kill the thing before you skin it.

  11. Lankey Bastard says
